Comedy Central has inked a multiyear, multiplatform deal with Levity Entertainment for a series of stand-up specials.

The pact includes specials from Christopher Titus, Gabriel Iglesias, Pablo Francisco, Jim Breuer, Mitch Fatel and Pete Correale that will air this year and six more that will shoot this year to air in 2010, including one starring Jeff Dunham, who recently inked a rich deal with the network.

At least eight of the specials will be released on DVD by Comedy Central Home Entertainment. (partialdiff)
